Clearly the sensor has to be connected to the rest of device in a way, so how could you possibly know the fingerprints stay where they are? i'm not insulting you, i just wish you would do a bit more research before spouting off some misled and clearly unfounded opinion (hence the tin foil hat reference). it'd actually make more sense if you cited samsung as the target of your opinion because their api allows devs to access the sensor but not data for verification purposes in other apps. additionally if you're concerned about big tech companies utilizing personal data the largest perpetrators would probably be google and facebook; biometric data should be a distant secondary concern. anyhow i get that you're concerned but so far every article or analysis of these devices point out that fingerprint data is locally isolated & stored. and if you took time to examine the way these fingerprint sensors actually work, they don't even store a complete finger print. | ||

But the sides have a nice metal binding which feels premium in the hand. Not to mention the Styleswap covers give you the actual material (wood, keviar, etc.) | ||

You realize it has the pretty much the same metalic frame around it ? so in the end its pretty much the same, back plastic (even wood or leather if you care about it), metalic frame i dont get how then that for you the "plastic was a no-no" but its pretty much in the same situation as the OP2 lol I mean, i dont care if you like one phone or the other, but i dont get what makes the OP2 "more premium" than the Moto X considering they have the same build. | ||

If you don't take my word for it, then fine. I'm just trying to give good advice to people on this thread. Verge did a review for these 2 phones, and one of knocks on Moto X was, "doesn't feel as premium as its competitors", while Verge also did a review on OPT and it rated it as solid build quality (along with the best smartphone you can get for $400 range, which I wholeheartedly agree with). http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/2/9248101/new-motorola-moto-x-review-2015-pure-edition http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/18/9168395/oneplus-2-smartphone-2015-android-review Now, OPT still doesn't achieve the build quality as an iPhone 6 or S6 Edge, but it's easily the best phone for the price range (imo). | ||

I was waiting for the new Nexus refresh as well, but caved instead and picked up an Asus Zenfone 2. Looking at the specs, I'm glad I picked up the budget "flagship killer". Atom z3580 on the Asus is pretty much a snapdragon 805, and the powervr g6430 performs between the adreno 330 and the 418. Plus 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, topped off with a 5.5 IPS screen and a >3000mah battery... all for half the price of current flagships. Base model is just $199 USD with 2GB of ram and 16GB of storage, and the high-end model is $299 for 4GB and 64GB. No software issues and updates from Asus come every few weeks. What a steal. | ||

Just received a couple days ago my new phone. Xiaomi Redmi Note 2. Under a month shipment from china and little overcost. 32GB Helio x10 octa core 2.2 procesors for 174€ (159€ retail price) Very happy with it so far. I'd recomend to anyone who wants a nice phablet without the "commodities" of nfc chip, fingerprint reader or an aluminium unibody. Need to find time to root it and get rid of a couple pre installed apps. | ||
